A method of controlling the radiological workload in a district general hospital, based on an estimation of the reasonable capacity of the department, was introduced in 1978. Measurement of the number of examinations performed compared with the estimated reasonable capacity shows that the method has been effective. An immediate 25% reduction in examinations was followed by a workload which varied between -4% and +16% of the capacity. An increase in the proportion of complex examinations in the period under review has been recognized. The method has encouraged referring doctors to exercise restraint and adopt guidelines, and helped persuade managers to increase capacity by appointing additional radiologists.
1978年引入了一种基于部门合理工作量估计来控制地区综合医院放射工作量的方法。将实际检查数量与估计的合理工作量进行对比测量，结果表明该方法是有效的。检查数量立即减少了25%，随后工作量在合理工作量的-4%至+16%之间波动。在审查期间，复杂检查的比例有所增加。该方法促使转诊医生保持克制并采用指导方针，同时有助于说服管理人员通过任命更多放射科医生来增加工作量。
